What is Concordia Center for the Family?

Concordia Center for the Family, having begun its ten-plus-year history at Concordia University in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is a devoted Family Discipleship Ministry.  That means they seek to open the door for Christ’s gifts to create faith in and through families with church support. CCF strives to be a source of inspiration and encouragement. Their earnest prayer is to partner with more and more leaders in our LCMS and beyond to foster a new fervor for family discipleship.

At the core of Concordia Center for the Family is the ambition to empower and motivate agencies, organizations, and churches. Their objective is to amplify the capabilities of these entities, equipping them to effectively support families. This collective effort is driven by a greater purpose – the advancement of the Gospel through the thriving and flourishing of families.
